You are at a friend's house when you notice a snow globe on the coffee table. Did that snowman just wave at me? As you start to pick it up for a better lock, you're instantly transported!

You now find yourself standing inside a beautifully detailed, glittering Holiday Snow Globe. A gentle, perpetual snowfall dusts the scene. The world is hushed and magical.

Right in front of you sits a small, rustic log cabin. It is the epitome of holiday comfort:

A thick, perfect wreath hangs on the wooden door.

The windows glow with a warm, buttery light, though you notice they flicker almost imperceptibly.

You can hear the gentle, satisfying crackle of a log fire burning in the stone hearth and holiday melodies playing inside.

Wait, did I imagine it or did I just see the lights flicker for a moment?

Standing right outside the cabin door is Finnegan the Snowman.

Finnegan is built from three perfectly rolled snowballs. His eyes are two shiny coal pieces that twinkle with boundless enthusiasm, complementing his pebble smile, which gives him a perpetually goofy, optimistic grin. He has a carrot for a nose and sports a bright, hand-knit red and green striped scarf around his neck. His arms are two sturdy, birch twigs, held wide in welcome greeting. Next to him is a small stack of snowballs.

Finnegan: "Welcome! I've been waiting for you! It's perfectly toasty inside, and the cocoa is just right. Come on in and make yourself at home! But I will just stay outside as I don't want to start melting."

Then he leans in slightly, dropping his voice to a cheerful whisper. But listen, I do need your help! The joy that powers this whole globe is fading, and that's why the lights wobble. We have to restore the magic by doing festive things together! So, are you up for helping me keep the holiday spirit alive? We could start with a cookie, or maybe the world's greatest snowball fight first!"
